Is there any setting on the box for power through hdmi or something similar? If not I would assume it is something do with the power

its great apart from switching the tv off when plugged in via hdmi. the remote control is crap, but i use my phone instead so no problem. sometimes struggling picking what to watch though as there is loads.

Try turning any energy saving features on the TV off

ive not tried it on my old lg tv yet.

it wouldnt be a problem if the av output was decent quality, but its nowhere near as good.

Have you tried it with another TV? Same result?

It could be a number of things and i suspect it's likely a fault with the device. Personally i'd either get a replacement or purchase a different Android device (plenty of theme out there).
yeah it powers the tv off as the sony logo and noise comes on like when it is first switched on. and the power light goes off then on again.

bought one from ebay the other day. problem i have with it, is it is causing the tv to switch off then back on again at random intervals. this is when connected via hdmi. connect it via av and it doesnt. nothing else causes the tv to reset off then on that is connected to it. only the android tv box. is it a problem with voltage surge or something perhaps? any solutions?

tv is a sony bravia, about 2 years old.

thanks
